Boltt has joined hands with Garmin, a company that has been leading the wearable seen. The synergy between Boltt and Garmin is to ensure that the unique sensor they are working on will not just capture all the data but do so in an intuitive manner. As it is evident the volume of data collected from the sensor is useless until and unless it shapes up into crucial information. As of now wearables mostly measure up the data and then represent the same via the companion app but leaves out the rather crucial step of making sense from the data to the users....

How did this Convergence start? It all started with content related acquisitions that two of the largest telecom operators in the US have been making. It’s important to note that there is quite some difference in the intensity of acquisitions of these two telecom operators which are Verizon and AT&T. Verizon started by acquiring AOL and Yahoo. AOL was acquired for its ad tech and Verizon is now in the process of acquiring Yahoo which still gets hundreds of millions of page views every month....

In terms of specifications, the Coolpad Mega 2.5D flaunts a 5.5-inch HD panel up front with 2.5D curved glass and is powered by Quad-Core 64-bit MediaTek MT67355P processor clocked at 1GHz with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage that can be further expanded via a MicroSD card, Mali T720 GPU and a non-removable 2500mAh battery rated to deliver up to 9 hours of talk time, and 200 hours of standby time....

As per a study carried out by Corning, durability is one of the most crucial considerations that users in the three of the largest smartphone markets — China, India, and the United States — take into consideration when buying a smartphone. Moreover, it is claimed to be a factor that is twice as important as some of the features like the screen size and camera quality. Taking these factors into consideration, with the Gorilla Glass Victus, the company has decided to focus not just on making the glass either scratch or drop resistant, but instead, making it so to be able to withstand both scratches and drops....

My own reaction was summed up by a tweet: “Apple Pencil. That rolling sound? That’s Steve in his grave.” The fact, however, is that Jobs’ animosity to the stylus is perhaps being taken a tad out of context by so many of us. Let’s go back if you will to 2007 when Jobs made the famous “Yuck! No one wants a stylus!” statement. That was the time when the number of touchscreen phones that you could use without a stylus was, well, zero....

Interview With Phil Libin, Evernote CEO At some point, you may have the impression that I spoke more than he did (and that’s true), but during such a short interview, all your previous plans and set of questions just disappear from your head (I caught Phil leaving the event, right after the interview with the Reddit co-founder) and you have to improvise. It’s at The Next Web Conference that I realized the power of start-ups and that they can really make a change in the world, as cliché-ish as that may sound....

Let’s get the basics out. The Apple A12 comes with a 6-core CPU, with two performance and four efficiency cores. It is supposed to be 50% faster than the previous generation chip while being 40% more power efficient. Talking about the Neural Engine, the A12 now has 8-cores in comparison to the 2-cores on the previous generation A11 that can perform up to 5 trillion operations per second. It also has an added support for CoreML 2 which would result in performance improvements of up to 9 times while using just one-tenth of the power....

That said this idea is not entirely out of the box and is somewhat similar to the Podcasts but again with the magnanimous reach that Facebook commands, Live Audio has a greater prospect of success. At this juncture, Facebook will start its pilot by allowing Publishers including BBC World Service, HarperCollins, and authors like Adam Grant and Brit Benett. Facebook is expected to extend the feature to more people from next year, just like what they did with the Live Video feature when it was first announced....

Facebook is calling it “Lip Sync Live” and it functions similar to what you’ll find on apps like Musical.ly or even Dubsmash. You pick a track once you’ve entered a live stream, add various backgrounds, description, or effects, you get the idea. Once the stream ends, you can also share the video as a permanent post. If you’re one of those early users who have already received the feature, the Lip Sync Live option will appear when you start a live video....

Also, please check if your bank has an official app. We know for sure that banks like Citibank, ICICI, HDFC etc have their dedicated apps which are highly useful for day-to-day transactions. It’s much more easier to use and maybe it will give you more peace of mind. Lots of banks around the world have iPhone apps, open iTunes and give your bank a quick search, chances are they have a good iPhone Financial app already....

The project has been around for a while, but only now it has started its crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter, seeking to reach a financial goal of $100,000. At the time of writing this piece, they managed to obtain already almost $40, 000 with 28 days still left. Foodini is touted as “the first 3D food printer to print all types of real, fresh, nutritious foods, from savory to sweet”. There are other 3D food printers on the market and even some that can 3D print candy, but the specific of Foodini is the fact that it uses fresh ingredients....

Parents can use them to monitor their children, Friends can use them to keep up with one another’s hangouts, Travelers can use them to find local information and directions wherever they are. Mobile phone tracking or Smartphone tracking or simply, GPS tracking is the process through which a functioning phone is detected and localized on the globe (even on the move!) From Wikipedia – Update: The article was updated on 25/02/2020 with newer software and apps for smartphone tracking....

Xiaomi has been ticking off those boxes over the past few months as it consolidates its position as the numero uno in the Indian smartphone market. To someone relatively disconnected from the smartphone market, this would seem business as usual. After all, these are the very steps that most companies follow to push their products and services in the Indian market. Fair enough. But then these are also the very steps that Xiaomi had been steering clear of – and insisting that it would not follow them – in its early days in the Indian market....

Despite manufacturers like OnePlus, Vivo, Zopo opting for a 6GB RAM chip on their flagship smartphone; brands like Samsung, LG, Xiaomi steered clear off the same. In fact, Samsung eventually included a 4GB RAM on the inside of the Galaxy Note7, inspite of initial rumours regarding a 6GB chip. However, it seems that Korean OEM is finally ready to step up its game especially in this department and their Samsung Galaxy C9 will be their first device to do so....

According to Android Police, Google Pixel 3 will be powered by a completely new environment and won’t be running a customized version of Chrome OS with Android apps. The rumored OS will be a powerful software created by merging the best of Chrome’s desktop features intelligently combined with Android’s tablet-friendly interface, not the other way around. However, given the planned release, it is possible that this project will be terminated before the actual announcement....

The Constraints Gcam project had us impressed with the HDR+ mode on the Pixel and the Nexus phones which allowed users to take photos at the low-level light by burst shooting ten short exposure and then combining them into a single image. Once the automatic post-processing is done the grains and other noises in the background are drastically reduced. The SeeTheDark app which was presented at the ICCV 2015 Extreme Imaging Workshop showed us how the smartphone camera can capture images at the extremely low light by accumulating more exposures and ultimately merging them into one....

The Cloud Search is tailor made for enterprises and apart from acting as a tool to search it also doubles up as a directory to search for colleagues information. Furthermore, users will also be able to check the files and events they have in common. Needless to say, the tool will allow users to fire up a conversation with the colleague in either email, call or a Hangout. Since it is an Enterprise product the Google Cloud Search will offer a lot of privacy settings and will honor the file sharing permissions....

Starting June 1st, 2021, as per the amendments made by the company in its storage policy, any new photos and videos you upload will count toward the free 15GB of storage that comes with every Google Account or the additional storage you’ve purchased as a Google One member. According to Google, the change allows the company to keep pace with the growing demand for storage. And that is fairly reasonable since the company does not indulge in using the personal information of users for advertising purposes, and as a result, keeping up with the ever-increasing demand for storage, especially at such a huge scale, is a task in itself....

While the Nothing Phone (1) was launched amidst crazy hype arguably unprecedented in smartphone history, the Pixel 6a did not even have a proper launch event. It was merely released by Google via press release. But the Pixel has one of the most loyal fan bases, and rightfully so. But is it so easy to blindly choose one or the other, either based on hype or reputation? To answer questions like these, we have created this detailed comparison that compares all the important aspects of the Google Pixel 6a with the much-hyped Nothing Phone (1), both of which are on sale with some exciting offers in India and a few other countries....
